Comments on Beta Section for Site. ^

by Paul - Friday 27 October 2000 @ 07:04

killazontherun suggested in the Comments/Suggestions thread about adding a Beta Section to the site, kinda like LvL :). My only reservation is that there may not be enough maps being made to make it worthwhile doing it.

What are everyones comments on me going ahead with this idea.

Doh! ^

A big apology to Daz for yesterdays review of Dazdm13. I forgot to put a damn score on it so it came out with no score. Sorry about that. I meant to put 3.0 out of 5.0.

Errr... I did promise something. ^

So here is a review. Dazdm13 - Black Deception by Daz. Expect more soon since I just have the reviews to write up for all the pending maps, except Efdm13 and Auhdm1 since GrindSpire is reviewing those.

Also a quick correction to Monday's news about the BMW concept car. It's the Z9 not C9. The C9 is some bloated ass ugly rep-mobile from Shitroen Citroen.

Double Doh! ^

by Paul - Monday 23 October 2000 @ 04:12

Ok, so I didn't get back early enough to put some reviews up.

The Motor Show on the other hand was pretty damn cool. Unfortunately seeing the new American designed, German built Mini in the flesh confirmed it for me, its absolutely awful. Other than that there was nothing particularly amazing at the show (except the new Porsche Carrera GT and a bizarre looking concept car from BMW called the C9) but it was cool to go sit in various very expensive cars that I'll probably not be able to buy :). Oh and Jo Guest was there with some other page 3 bird, which was nice.

Anyway, the second doh is because I'm going to be away in London until Wednesday this week, which stops me again from doing any more reviews.

I promise though, I'll put something up on Wednesday.

Slow moving ^

Things are going to be going slightly slower this week as I am going away till Friday. Where I hear you ask, I am going white water kayaking in North Wales and I am going to get very wet :-)

I'm sure Paul will be doing some reviews while I'm away, and as soon as I get back I will start reviewing again. Feel free to submit maps while I'm not here and make my life harder, I won't hate you for it.

Erm, I would do an update today but... ^

by Paul - Sunday 22 October 2000 @ 02:32

...I'm off to Birmingham to the MotorShow at the NEC, which knackers my plans to get some reviews done. However, if I get back early I'll at least put a couple up.

Also one final thing, since we've already had one mistake with submitting maps, I'll make things prefectly clear. We review QUAKE DM maps only! Not Quake 2 or Quake 3 Arena. Not sure if thats explained anywhere on the site but I'd have thought people might have worked it out from all the screen shots... Oh well.

Tweaking and breaking ^

by Paul - Thursday 19 October 2000 @ 07:50

Just been fixing some good old site bugs whilst adding new stuff that will probably bring in new bugs :).

So whats new? Well the Last 50 Comments list and the ability now to Reply To specific comments. These are then logged so that when a person comes back to the site they'll see what replies they have.

Bugs wise, well the user list is now split in two since the old double list was just nasty. The rest is misc stuff you'll not notice.

Reviews and idle chit chat ^

by Paul - Wednesday 18 October 2000 @ 05:17

3 new reviews to read. 2 oldies and 1 new. Frib's Death by the Dozen, DaMaul's Temple of Tanktarta and Thy Neverending Pain by Deathmonger.

Some site news. I'm working on adding reply to code for the comments and a comments list type thread thing so you can keep track of what's been added since people are putting whack comments on some of the old map reviews (yes, I can see what you're doing there at the back, especially you, excessus and Vigil).

I also had an extensive chat with El Blackpope last night about adding user votes to reviews like LvL does (funny because the site was originally going to be based of the code of LvL =)). Anyway, here are the results of that:

[22:18] Paul|coding: i wonder if its worth doing votes on maps
[22:19] BlackPope: hmmmm
[22:19] Paul|coding: whatcha reckon?
[22:19] BlackPope: it's never really honest
[22:19] Paul|coding: you mean its rigged :)
[22:19] BlackPope: xactly :)
[22:19] Paul|coding: can't say i ever used the one on LVL
[22:19] BlackPope: yah i nvr bother
[22:20] Paul|coding: i don't go back to a site after I've downloaded a map
[22:20] Paul|coding: to complaint about it
[22:20] BlackPope: hehe
[22:20] Paul|coding: coz thats basically what it is
[22:20] Paul|coding: dl it, play it, go back and give score
[22:20] Paul|coding: imagine if rocketman came back
[22:20] BlackPope: rofl
[22:20] Paul|coding: him and his buds would rig the votes to buggery
[22:21] BlackPope: yah not worth it... doesn't accomplish anything
[22:21] Paul|coding: wh00p!
[22:21] Paul|coding: 1 vote for, 2 against!
[22:21] Paul|coding: i like those odds
[22:21] BlackPope: hehe less work

I'd have to have more people asking for it before I went ahead with it.

New reviews - Old maps ^

by GrindSpire - Monday 16 October 2000 @ 06:06

I have just added two new reviews. They are of some slightly older, but very impressive levels. The first is Painful Memories by Auhsan and the other is Esprit de Corpse by Excessus. Check them out as they are both very cool maps.
